RESPOND
EGYPT
There isn’t one of us here on a high
horse leading the masses....The
revolution belonged to the Internet
youth. Then it belonged to the
Egyptian youth. Then it belonged
to all the people of Egypt.
     - Facebook page administrator Wael Ghonim
     on the leadership of the Egyptian revolution
            television interview, February,7 2011
Ex-President Mubarak
The events of the last few
days require us all as a
people and as a leadership
to chose between chaos
and stability.
   -televised speech, February 1, 2011

Es una noticia preocupante la increíble distancia - blogger Ignacio Escolar
que se está creando entre los políticos y el resto Público blog, May 17, 2011
de los ciudadanos. El 15-M no es el único síntoma
de que esta democracia está enferma, de que no
podrá sobrevivir si se mantiene la injusticia, la
corrupción y la impunidad.

Prime Minister Zapatero




    "It is a peaceful protest
    that deserves our
    respect... While it is hard
    for young people today to
    see the results of the
    reforms, the results will
    come.”

“Why should we fight? The funds in government treasuries
are ours. The treasuries are not threatened by thieves but
by those who guard it. The country is not betrayed by
enemies but by these traitors.”             -Anna Hazare

Prime Minister Singh



"I acknowledge that Anna
Hazare may be inspired by
high ideals.... However, the
path that he has chosen, to
impose a draft of the bill
on parliament, is totally
misconceived.”
    -speech to Parliament, August 17, 2011



"We are together in this
fight against corruption.”

que el intercambio que

miembros de su
gabinete en un acto
público no tiene
precedentes en el país.
